yes glycerin is a mineral oil
.
answer 2 In Geology dictionary, you'll find a mineral defined as a solid ... . So glycerine (also spelt glycerin) cannot be a mineral. (But the term 'mineraloid' is coined to take into account Mercury.)
In days old, things were defined as Mineral, Vegetable, Animal or Abstract. Which leaves a lot to be desired as a classification system. But things coming out of the ground were considered as mineral, e.g. Mineral turpentine, to distinguish it from Vegetable turpentine. (= Turpentine made by steam distillation.)
Similarly with other oils and fats. Glycerine was commonly derived from animal fat, by pressing it in a fabric press; where the glycerine extruded as a clear colourless liquid. And is further refined.
And these days, glycerine may be made from petroleum oil feedstock.
